Re: Fatal error: Speeding 75km/hr in posted 60km/hr zone.

The example TicketCombat uses is:
- unknown offence (e.g. speeding 70kh/hr in a 64km/hr zone);

What they are trying to comunicate is that 64 km/hr is not a known speed limit. All valid speeding tickets state the speed your are charged with going, and what the maximum speed for that zone is. If the officer just wrote speeding, how do you ...

Don't know your daughters exact scenario, but here is something to consider. The standard that drivers are held to is not one of perfection. In R. v. Beauchamp Justice F.G.

I have read that if you don't receive disclosure you can requested adjournment.
When the JP asks for your defense say you can't make one because you never received your disclosure and thus you were unable to formulate a defense against the charge. Thus you request to have this trial adjourned until the prosecution is able to provide adequate ...

The officer recommended this, and said he had to ...

Re: Am I entitled to get paid to show as a witness?

Not to hijack this thread, but I have a hypothetical question regarding witnesses.

A witness gives a statement at the scene of the incident, but the defendant doesn't agree with the "facts" detailed in the witness statement. At trial, if the witness does not show, can the prosecution simply rely on the statement given. Or, perhaps, is the trial ...

Re: Beautiful speed trap in downtown Toronto

If we can agree that in this scenario the sign is invalid, (thus falling back to 50 km/h), could you not argue that this was a fatal ticketing error as it is an "unknown offence", since "58 km/h in a 40 km/h zone" is not a valid offence for this location?

Id start by requesting disclosure to see what evidence the officer has to support a careless driving charge. Based on what youve said, I certainly dont feel the charge is warranted nor would you be convicted. First attendance meeting might not hurt, see what the Crown says. If they feel the charge is unwarranted they might simply withdraw it ...
